At least 10 mL of blood should be collected into EDTA (or ACD but not heparin) anticoagulant. In suspected cases of EVA-related abortion, submit the entire fetus and placenta for laboratory examination. If submission of the entire fetus and placenta is not feasible, collect specimens of placental membranes, lung, spleen, thymus and liver into individual, leak-proof containers, clearly labeling each with animal ID, tissue and date of collection. Where a stallion is a suspect carrier of EAV, he should be collected and 10 mL of semen containing the sperm-rich fraction of the full ejaculate submitted for testing. While the PCR test may be performed on seminal fluids, however, for regulatory purposes, such specimens may also need to be tested by virus isolation. | $31.00 | $46.50 | Real-time PCR(QL) |

Do not submit fecal specimens in gloves, screw-cap tubes are preferred | This is a multiplex Real-time PCR assay. These test results are intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of Lawsonia intracellularis, Salmonella spp, Clostridium perfringens PCR , Clostridioides difficile PCR, Cryptosporidium, and Neorickettsia risticii (agent of potomac horse fever). Results should be considered in conjunction with the quality of specimen submitted, clinical signs and animal history. In case of positive results for Salmonella, aerobic culture can be requested and antimicrobial susceptibility performed. | $86.00 | $86.00 | Real-time PCR (QL) |
